CNN is done with conservative commentator Jeffrey Lord. CNN fired Lord yesterday after he tweeted a Nazi salute, "Sieg Heil," at a prominent liberal activist. Lord said he was just, "mocking Nazis and Fascists" and that his tweet was misunderstood. Lord also accused CNN of caving to bullies.

CNN issued a statement saying, "Nazi salutes are indefensible." Lord was the first explicitly pro-Trump commentator to join the network. CNN says it still has about a dozen other conservative commentators.
